Peace Corps in Benin

Volunteers in Benin work with their communities on projects
in community economic development, education, the environment, and health. During
their service in Benin, Volunteers learn to speak local languages, including
Bariba, Ditamari, Dendi, Fon, French, Mahi, and Nagot.

Looking back on my Peace Corps service, I know I’ll remember not the number of trees planted or mud stoves built, but the personal connections made, the moments of simple joy that life in Africa accords, and the challenges that shaped me into being a stronger person. That will stay with me forever.
